Testimonial for Julie Pichon
A close friend who works as a Labor and Delivery nurse at IU Health highly recommended Julie when I mentioned I was interested in having a doula for our third child. My first two deliveries were inductions with epidurals, but we had planned a natural birth using Hypnobabies for our third. Julie met with us in our home and we discussed our hopes and desires for our delivery. She gave us the information we needed to make informed decisions and supported us in developing our birth plan. We met with Julie again in our home closer to our due date and practiced relaxation techniques and birthing positions and she listened to my preferences. This made me feel confident going into our birthing time.
During our birthing time, Julie was a tremendous help offering encouragement and reassurance. Her experience allowed her to be in tune with my labor and prepare me for what was next. I know Julie’s presence gave my husband and I the support we needed to achieve the natural birth we had hoped and planned for. Julie’s quiet, calm demeanor was a blessing during our birthing time. She was always available by phone or text if I had questions or just needed to talk. She was also a tremendous help after the birth when our daughter had trouble breastfeeding. If you are considering a doula, Julie has the demeanor, compassion, and experience to help you.
